Help Wired Pimp Our Kegerator, Win Free Beer

Wired.com is building a kegerator at our San Francisco office, and we need your help to pimp it out, Wired style. We’re going to pit our machine, which we affectionately call Beer Robot, against two store-bought models we have in house for review.

While we think Beer Robot will give the others a run for their money, it has several things working against it at this point, not the least of which is that it ain’t pretty. In order to keep our project under $200, we picked up a homely almond-colored fridge for free on the side of the road via Craigslist, and you know what they say about beggars…

So we’re looking for an expert fridge painter, or any kind of painter, or someone with paint, to give Beer Robot a fighting chance. In return, you will receive high-fives, a mention on Wired.com and, of course, free beer.

We’re also on the lookout for ways to further geekify Beer Robot with gadgets, remote controls, webcams, Twitter or whatever. We are open to any hacks or mods you can dream up.

If you love cold beer and Wired, and you have ideas for Beer Robot, let us know via email: betsy_mason@wired.com, comments below, or @beerrobot on Twitter.
